Story

The Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics unit (PK/PD unit) at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig investigates the potential of drug candidates against pathogens, using special testing procedures. If the candidates pass these stringent preclinical tests, they stand a chance of being shortlisted for further development towards clinical testing.

Story

Electron microscopy (EM) is not some monotonous assembly-line job, because each assignment poses new challenges. A diverse range of things is magnified and examined, such as immune cells, algae or phages – the work is always different and always interesting. However, biological EM is only practiced by four specialists in Germany. One of these highly qualified experts is Manfred Rohde at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI).

Story

Among all the hospital germs, Gram-negative bacteria are particularly difficult to treat: Many antibiotics fail due to the double-cell membrane. But cystobactamides are providing hope for a remedy – substances from the extensive collection of bacteria held by the HZI. These bacteria are going to be further developed into drugs in a partnership with the pharmaceutical company Evotec.
